Analytics in Healthcare

Following years of organisational flux, healthcare managers in the UK are under pressure to significantly improve productivity in an increasingly complex sector. While patients demand better outcomes, budgets are frozen, and the cost dynamics of healthcare are changing, driven by changing demographics and new medical approaches. New market entrants and new approaches to healthcare delivery are also increasing complexity and competition.

Analytics can provide the mechanism to understand this torrent of complexity and data, and help healthcare organisations deliver on these demands. But it takes big plans, discrete actions, and some very specific management approaches to gain the benefits of analytics.

A new IBM Institute for Business Value executive report identifies a framework for healthcare analytics driven management transformation that can help organizations drive value.
